I like the edge Stoner can bring, but his puck control and his on-ice decisions are horrible lately. I'm happy with him as a bottom d guy, but not #4. He's dragging down that pairing with Gilbert.

Prosser, eh. At best he's a 6-7 pairing, and that's when he's playing "well."

Spurgeon... I don't know... He can be alright in the "o" zone, but his play on d is pretty bad. Problem is he's a defender, so his play on d needs to be much better.

I would be interested to see Scandella get a shot with Gilbert again. They did play well together at the end of last year. There's still that glimmer of hope that Scandella will figure his **** out, finally, and fall into that second pairing d like he could.
